The first 5 minutes or so the Isles looked scared and thought this was going to be a rough night but they suddenly started to play. It's good when the opposition doesn't beat you when they aren't bringing their A-game.

Okposo needs to finish his plays consistently. I mean he was probably rushed up but he's been in the league already!

Great win last night. Good to see them finally not let up in the third period for once. Hopefully they can keep it up. Big game Thursday, one they should have a good shot at winning, as opposed to previous years when you'd look at the next game coming up and say "Oh, the Devils. Chalk that one up as an L."

Nice to be optimistic about this team for once, because it hasn't happened in a long time.

Of course, by me posting this, the annual early-to-mid season slide will happen any time now!

Great win by the Isles tonight. Nice to see them kill that penalty at the end of the game and take advantage of their own power play.

Nice win for you guys, it was an exciting, back and forth game. Isles are playing some good hockey. Grabner and Tavares are great, I can see this team being very good in the near future. I can't believe Tavares didn't get muscled off that puck by Salvador on his goal, that was impressive. He seems to have made great strides with his strength on the puck and on his skates.

Tavares has always been incrediblely strong on the puck. Considering how young he is and the probability that he will only get stronger, its pretty amazing.

If a couple of the young guys can continue producing on the offensive side, this team could be very dangerous. Would love to see Ullstrom continue his strong play. Also nice to Cizikas get his first goal - he seems like a high energy grinder.

I'm a huge Rangers fan, but I always have kept close to what the Islanders have been up to...the last few years they've been doing a great job of picking up some very good young talent...and now you are not only continuing to see the effort on the ice and improvement, but the results are starting to come (goals, wins, etc).

They may catch lightning in a bottle this year due to the shortened season, but if they can continue to develop, watch out for them over the next fews seasons. By the time they get to Brooklyn, they'll be making a big push for the big prize. Sucks for Long Island, though...
